APAD 313: Apartment buildings in Phnom Penh
These are just one of the old apartment buildings in central Phnom Penh. Most apartment buildings in the city are said to be built in the 1960s. Generally a “shop house-style” characterized by deep narrow apartments made up of a combined ground-floor business-front and upstairs residence, with similar layouts consisting of a living room, kitchen and bathroom at the back and one or two bedrooms in the middle.
Apartment buildings in Phnom Penh are commonly 3-5 stories tall and with a balcony.
As you can see these apartments have been re-painted, there are still more buildings that need a bit of sprucing up.

A lovely summer day with temp around 30-32C. But it does get warmer (and oh-so-humid!) than this.
Rows of Khmer-style apartment in my neigbourhood.

APAD 291: Psah Thmey’s new facade
The newly renovated Psah Thmey in Phnom Penh. It's popularly known to most tourists as the Central Market.
Psah Thmey was built in the French art deco-style in 1937 in the shape of a dome with four arms branching out into vast hallways with hundreds of stalls/shops. In 2009-2011, the government received funding from the French Development Agency for its renovation.
Psah Thmey is one of the liveliest and busiest shopping centre and the number one tourist spot in Phnom Penh.

APAD 231: The Cambodian Ministry of Information
I’ve been inside this government compound only once or twice. Although it doesn’t look big, the national television, TVK, is also housed inside this compound.
